John Fernandes is an American multi-instrumentalist musician.

Professional career

Fernandes, along with several other members of the Elephant Six Collective, joined the acclaimed psychedelic pop group The Olivia Tremor Control in Athens, GA in 1994.[1] Fernandes was also a member of the side-project Black Swan Network.[1]

Upon that band's demise, Fernandes went on to form the Athens-based group Circulatory System with other members of Olivia Tremor Control, most notably Will Cullen Hart.[1][2]

In addition, Hart and Fernandes started a record label in 2001 called Cloud Recordings, which issued the Circulatory System's self-titled first album. Fernandes frequently contributes to multiple Athens-based bands' live shows and recordings. He currently plays with Circulatory System, The New Sound of Numbers, Old Smokey, Freehand, Lavender Holyfield, Jacob Morris - Moths, and Dream Boat. He has also recently been performing his own live solo shows, and has performed as part of the Elephant 6 Collective's occasional tours.[3]

He released an album of solo material in February 2011 under the name John Kiran Fernandes.

Fernandes works at Wuxtry Records in Athens, where one of his co-workers was Danger Mouse.[4]
